Flickers

in the shadows the candle flickers
the light is then snuffed out
I realize, what I thought was true
is casting serious doubt

how do we get back to where
the playing board is even
without the hope of trust and love
thinking is not believing

with time comes rust and corrosion
there may be no way back
what I gave that was pure and true
I find that now it was lacking
